Today 01/10/18 I attended the sentencing hearing for Travis Powers and read a victim's statement on behalf of our
association. Powers received a sentence of 9 months in county jail, 5 years felony probation and is supposed to pay
$69k ++++ in restitution to the association, which is the amount taken with a small amount of interest. I was asked if
we would accept 180 days of work relief instead of jail time, which I refused. We asked for 1 year in jail and he was
given 9 months. So far he has put up $5,000.00 of the total amount owed.
Not sure at this time how long it will take to get the total amount owed to us, but I will be updating when needed.
Thanks to all our members for your support.

The association has established a go fund me page with the goal of refunding the treasury
to a point where we can increase the number of scholarships, newsletters,
and have some breathing room with operating expenses.
